In the Mission Director's Center at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, NASA and contractor managers and engineers monitor progress during a countdown rehearsal for the launch of a United Launch Alliance Delta II rocket with the Joint Polar Satellite System-1, or JPSS-1, spacecraft. Built by Ball Aerospace and Technologies Corp. of Boulder, Colorado, JPSS is the first in a series four next-generation environmental satellites in a collaborative program between the NOAA and NASA. Liftoff is scheduled to take place from Vandenberg's Space Launch Complex 2.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Hangar AE on Cape Canav¬eral Air Force Station in Florida is used by NASA’s Launch Services Program as its communications center. The facility contains the program's Mission Director's Center, Launch Vehicle Data Center, and Telemetry Lab. The hangar, originally built in 1958 for a Department of De¬fense missile program, was acquired by NASA in 1960 and modified to support unmanned missions.
